DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

   Jars are very nice for crafting – they are simple in using and there are a million of ideas to use them. Let’s make candle holders. The supplies are craft glue, small glass jar, small cup, scissors, paint brush, light fabric. Measure the fabric and cut it to fit the jar. One part glue and two parts water to be ore exact, then you will take the fabric materials and place them into the mixture, after that get rid of the unnecessary glue. Now place the fabric in the jar, with the pattern face up, and use your brush to get rid of all the bubbles that are stack between the fabric and the jar. After you managed yourself with the first one, do that with the rest of the fabric. These candle holders will create a romantic and relaxing atmosphere.

The original recipe was for Dark Fudge Bundt Cake but that shouldn't deter us. Make it into anything you like - a cake, bundt cake, cupcakes, or these lovely doughnut shaped ones if you have the right pan. Dark

It is led by members of the West Indian community, particularly the Trinidadian and Tobagonian British population or 'Trinis', many of whom have lived in the area since the 1950s. The carnival has attracted up to 2 million people in the past, making it the second largest street festival in the world after the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival held in that country. History     The roots of the Notting Hill Carnival come from two separate but connected strands. The Carnival began in January 1959 in St Pancras Town Hall as a response to the depressing state of race relations at the time; the UK's first widespread racial attacks (the Notting Hill race riots ) had occurred the previous year.
